The dish features a bright green color and a refreshing, crunchy texture, making it a popular appetizer in summer.

Baby bok choyBaby bok choy is a small type of Chinese cabbage with a fresh and tender texture. Common cooking methods include stir-frying, garlic stir-fry, or simmering in clear soup. To prepare, first wash the baby bok choy thoroughly, then add appropriate seasonings and ingredients according to your chosen method, and stir-fry until soft or simmer until flavorful.
Crispy Pork StripsSucculent pork slices, made from fatty pork belly, are marinated and then deep-fried until golden and crispy. To prepare, the pork belly is sliced thinly, seasoned with salt, cooking wine, and five-spice powder, then fried in hot oil until perfectly crisp.
Dried Green BeansDry beans are made by sun-drying fresh beans until they lose moisture, resulting in a deep green or yellow-brown color. Before cooking, they must be soaked in water to restore their softness. They are commonly stewed with meat, absorbing the meat juices to become flavorful, and can also be stir-fried or used in soups.
